背景：我们之前表明，无需立即手术即可观察到亚临床低危甲状腺微小乳头状癌（PTMC）。患者年龄是临床甲状腺乳头状癌（PTC）的重要预后因素。在本研究中，我们调查了患者年龄如何影响低风险 PTMC 的观察。方法：1993年至2011年间，1235例低危PTMC患者选择观察而不立即手术。他们定期接受超声波检查。这些患者被纳入本研究。我们根据观察开始时的年龄将他们分为三个子集：年轻（
Background: We showed previously that subclinical low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) could be observed without immediate surgery. Patient age is an important prognostic factor of clinical papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In this study, we investigated how patient age influences the observation of low-risk PTMC. Methods: Between 1993 and 2011, 1235 patients with low-risk PTMC chose observation without immediate surgery. They were followed periodically with ultrasound examinations. These patients were enrolled in this study. We divided them into three subsets based on age at the beginning of observation: young (
